Bel+Air+Memorial+Hospital

After California legalized [|abortion]on demand in 1970, a Texas company began selling abortion referrals and air fare. Twenty-year-old Kathryn Morse was one customer. Kathryn was admitted to Bel Air Memorial Hospital in LA County on September 1, 1972. (Until //Roe v. Wade//, California abortions were performed in hospitals, and many hospitals opened specializing in abortion.) John Dupont initiated a [|saline]abortion on her. Kathryn dveloped a 102 degree fever, then expelled the dead baby just after midnight on September 3. Kathryn's blood pressure rose, she went into shock, and was pronounced dead by Dupot at 9:40 AM. An autopsy found [|sepsis], and gangrene of the ovary.
